There is a hot, summertime celebration of queer voices at five venues across L.A. July 19 to July 28, 2024

More than 50 narrative and documentary short and feature films will be screened during Queer Rhapsody, a celebration of LGBTQIA+ voices in partnership with five iconic venues across L.A. Organized by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, the series creates joyful, communal, and brave spaces for radical engagement among film fans, arts leaders and queer culture workers at a volatile time when identities and communities are under fire.  Today we talk about that roster of films with the Creative Director/Senior Programmer Martine Joelle McDonald ..

Queer Rhapsody opens July 19th with a sneak peek screening at the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum in Westwood of the documentary, Second Nature,  Narrated by Elliot Page, the film follows trans trailblazer evolutionary biologist Dr. Joan Roughgarden as she meets groundbreaking scientists exploring the 1500+ animal species that engage in same-sex sexual behavior and same-sex families. Throughout the two-week series, Queer Rhapsody will present 15 film programs, 7 of which will be short film programs. The series includes 8 feature film programs with weekend afternoon and evening screenings. 

Martine is a film curator and teaching artist, founder of Practice Wonder, a creative studio and narrative change consulting practice, and was  Director of Artist Development at Outfest.
